A system that enables dynamic discrete decision simulation is provided. Simulation has many advantages in modeling complex systems to facilitate decision making. The innovation discloses a system that integrates an agent-based discrete event simulator, a geographic information system, a rule base, and interactive databases in addition to interfaces and other supporting components. The modules can seamlessly communicate with each other by exchanging a progression of data, and by making a series of deductive decisions through embedded algorithms. The integrated system can be applied to disaster management planning and training.

A ventilation system is provided for dynamoelectric machines such as hydro generators having salient pole rotors and in which the rotor and stator have separate ventilation systems sealed from the air gap. The stator ventilation system includes radial vent ducts with longitudinal ducts in the stator core extending between adjacent radial vent ducts. The longitudinal ducts are sealed from the air gap and are disposed in the region of the stator windings, preferably extending through the teeth. Ventilating air flows radially inward through the vent ducts, longitudinally through the longitudinal ducts from one vent duct to the next, and radially outward to the external circuit where it is circulated through coolers, by means of a blower or otherwise.
